    Easy Summer Vegan Gluten-Free Meal Plan + Helpful Grocery List

    Jun 24, 2021 · Leave a Comment

    Are you ready for a summer full of veggies and flavor? This 5-Day Summer Vegan Meal Plan is the perfect way to kickstart plant-based eating...or just not worry about meal planning for the week! I've got breakfast, lunch, and dinner (plus snacks and desserts!) all mapped out for you right here. Plus, a grocery list of everything you will need for the week!

    Creamy Vegan Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

    Creamy Pink Smoothie Bowl

    Pear and Roasted Beet Arugula Salad

    Vegan Pesto Pasta Recipe with Grilled Summer Veggies

    Grilled Veggie Pesto Pasta

    Day 1

    Breakfast: Creamy Pink Smoothie Bowl...that's right, we're starting the Summer Vegan Meal Plan with bright color and sweet flavor! Add a sprinkle of my favorite homemade granola on top for a bit of crunch.
    Lunch: Pear & Roasted Beet Arugula Salad with Herbed Tahini Dressing is one of those unexpected combinations that just tastes amazing. Even if you don't usually like beets...give this one a try! My kids go for golden beets every time.
    Dinner: Grilled Veggie Pesto Pasta just might be my favorite summertime dinner. Grilling the veggies adds the most incredible depth of flavor and the pasta makes it super filling.

    Day 2

    Breakfast: Green Juice in a Blender gets you green juice with no juicer required! It's packed with nutrients that will send you into your day with a glow. Have it with a Chia Seed Pudding...no baking required!
    Lunch: Vegan Mediterranean Quinoa Salad is a prep-ahead dish that creates easy leftovers. I love having it in the fridge for snacking and lunches!
    Dinner: Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers, because no Summer Vegan Meal Plan is complete without a veggie burger!

    Grilled Avocados Stuffed with Quinoa Mango Salad

    Day 3

    Breakfast: Vegan Blueberry Pancakes are the breakfast that has everyone rushing to the table in the morning. I just HAD to include blueberries in the Summer Vegan Meal Plan!
    Lunch: Watermelon Arugula Mason Jar Salads with Quinoa, Avocado, Pine Nuts, & Mint store easily in the refrigerator, so they're great for prepping ahead of time and eating on the go.
    Dinner: Quinoa & Mango Stuffed Grilled Avocado is a quintessential summertime dinner. Every ingredient just feels like sunshine!

    Vegan Lemon Blueberry Smoothie
    Buckwheat Noodle Recipe
    Gluten-Free Taquitos

    Day 4

    Breakfast: Lemon Blueberry Smoothie is a smoothie made without banana! I love the summery flavors of lemon and blueberry together.
    Lunch: Buckwheat Soba Noodle Salad is such a filling and nutritious lunch. I love making extra so I have leftovers for a few lunches!
    Dinner: Easy Vegan Baked Taquitos are a home run every single time. I added them as part of the Summer Vegan Meal Plan because everyone loves it!

    Sunshine Smoothie
    Vegan Egg Salad Sandwich
